Forming a band

[Kelvin]

Anyone interested in forming a band that sings christian pop or rock songs? I'm an average acoustic guitar player and I play rhythm and lead sing. Looking for teenagers who can sing, play guitar, drums and keyboard.

Why must be teenagers?

Why must be teens? How abt a 30-yr-old who looks like a teen? I still get teen girls hitting on me. haha.

No, but seriously, I've found some new skills in myself. I can arrange music, compose, etc. I sing very well. Do a fantastic cover of Annie Lennox (her voice is low). Eg. Vampire song, Lord of the Rings (Into The West), etc. I used to do lots of Guns & Roses. Ballades. I can't scream the "distorted noise" thing. Have a rather pure voice, but can get huskier if I spoil it some.

I play the keyboard very well (just found out). I play some guitar too. Have a fantastic ear for music. Can harmonize in real-time. Used to play in streets, until govt say I'm not blind enuf to beg. My frens & I did covers so well, we ALWAYS got pple to stop & listen (and pay!!). One gripe: Why does everyone assume I'm a foreigner??? I've had it with S'poreans assuming talents only come from outside S'pore.

So, if u're interested, we can get together. I'm easy-going, & also good teacher (in case u need to brush up music ear & skills). I'm fun. Always class-clown.

i thinks he's michael jackson

Eh, Hello. Michael Jackson don't do Guns & Roses lah. U not familiar with the genre? Acoustic guitar bands. Some songs only acoustic guitar & voice (eg. More Than Words). Very beautiful when sung on open stage (eg. for functions, Teachers' Day, etc). Some songs require drums, but I never able to find real strong drummer (steady confident timing, flowing twists). I don't quite like the pure screaming fest (eg. Sweet Child of Mine). All scream, less melody. Hehe.

Songs we used to do were like More Than Words, ballads from Scorpion. Air supply only me & another guy can do. Sadly, not many voice talents in S'pore.

So how, Hello? U interested to join up? Or r u just gonna hide behind the mask of an internet identity? Michael Jackson hides behind a "different face" too, u know? Haha. Sigh. Funny, but I'm sad at the same time. Too many S'poreans refuse to look up and show face. "Just Do It", I say (no, i said that before Nike did).

Actually I talk like that to get u to play with me lah. Nothing serious. U got band? Can I join u guys then? Read my previous posts. Trust me. I AM an easy-going constructive guy. Not a snob. And yes, it's true that I'm rather talented in music, composition, singing, keyboard, etc. So I can really contribute to ur band.

Also, I have resources, since I've been working for some time now. I have a professional career (not music :-() with my day job. So, setting ur band up for exposure isn't a problem for me. As long as it doesn't cost more than $10,000 a pop.

 

[super_punk]

trust me. it won't cost 10,000 a pop. but you can't join anyway.
